Embodiment Construction

[0014]FIG. 1 illustrates a communication system 30 including a plurality of endpoints 32-35 having the ability to establish communication sessions with each other and / or a conference system 38. Such communication sessions may be established using communication networks 40, 41 and / or additional endpoints, components, or resources coupled with communication networks 40 or 41. Conference system 38 reserves, configures, and automatically initiates operation of conference-enabled resources. Additionally, conference system 38 provides multipoint conference services, including conference hosting and / or facilitation, to users of endpoints 32-35, such as user 31 of endpoint 32. In particular embodiments, conference system 38 may comprise a multipoint conference unit (MCU) that hosts, or accommodates, multipoint conferences between and among endpoints 32-35. An MCU or other entity may be considered to be hosting a conference if it is one or more of the components that accommodates or otherwis...

Abstract

A method for the automatic configuration of conference resources includes receiving a user request identifying at least one conference resource to be used in a conference. The at least one conference resource is reserved for the conference. Operation of the conference resource is automatically initiated without user interaction.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to communication systems and, more particularly, to a method and system for the automatic configuration of conference resources.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Historically, telecommunications have involved the transmission of voice and fax signals over a network dedicated to telecommunications, such as the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) and a Private Branch Exchange (PBX). Similarly, data communications between computers have been historically transmitted on a dedicated data network, such a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN). Currently telecommunications and data transmissions are being merged into an integrated communication network using technology such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Since many LANs and WANs transmit computer data using Intranet Protocol (IP), VoIP uses this existing technology to transmit voice and fax signals by converting these signals into digita...
